So yesterday at 1:30, I got my 4D ultrasound done. 🙂
It was amazing to be able to see my son with that much detail. 🙂 It was so cute when he yawned while I was getting it done. 🙂
My only concern is while I was having the ultrasound done he kept his hand up beside his face the whole time. :/ Every ultrasound I have gotten his hand is always there and I am very afraid that his hand may be attached to his face. 🙁 I will still love him and all but he would either have to have surgery after he was born or later in life to have it removed from his face. 🙁 But then again, he could just like his hand there, but I am worried that he will be born with his hand attached to his face.
Has anyone else had this thought or problem? Does anyone know if they can tell you before the baby is born if, in fact, it will be born like that?
I want to start off by saying I am deeply sorry to anyone who has had a miscarriage.
My name is [redacted]. I’m 18 and have unfortunately suffered the pain of having a miscarriage.
I was into the first week of my second trimester and settling into the idea of becoming a young mum so well. Obviously, as I was still in school at the time and very young, it wasn’t a planned pregnancy, but I’m sure as all of you who have children know, that your shock only lasts a moment before your unconditional love for them takes its place. This experience has hurt me more than anything. But I felt the need to share my story on the off chance that someone else who is going through a similar situation will know that they are not by any means suffering alone.
For me, I discovered that I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks at a scan. I was oblivious to anything being wrong as I watched my beautiful baby with fully formed features on the screen. After 10 or so minutes of silence, I was told that she had no heartbeat. I can hardly remember much from there as I was numb with shock. I refused to go to the hospital for a DNC (a procedure similar to an abortion). which my midwife saw as understandable. I needed time to get my head around everything, time to have my child still inside me before I had to emotionally and physically let go of everything.
I had deemed so many things in my life unimportant in comparison to having a child….And it was difficult realizing that, that was all I was left with.
….. No one mentioned how I would feel afterward… The subject was restricted to small talks of ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘if there’s anything I can do’.
Hormones caused so many emotions to run through me. I went from being fine one minute to bursting into tears when I saw a parent and child the next. I spent many car journeys driving home in tears simply because I had to let it all out
I know from experience that there isn’t anything I, or anyone else can say to make mothers of angel babies feel fully better… But hopefully knowing that you are not alone, will bring some comfort.
Let yourself heal, cry, and give yourself time. This is where I am at myself, it’s a slow process, and I’ll never forget my first born but it’s helping, and I’m copping more and more each day.
‘Time heals everything,’ my mum has always said- Words of wisdom I carry with me on my rainy days.
Well, my name is [redacted], and I am pregnant once again. I am having a boy and I am due August 28th. I already have a 4-year-old daughter. I am only 18.
Both of my kids have the same dad, but he isn’t in the picture anymore. We dated in high school and I got pregnant. He left school and I didn’t see him again till November. I moved in with him. He has never seen our son and he has only seen an ultrasound for this baby. When I moved in with him, at first it was great. Then, slowly over the 6 1/2 months we were together, it became hell. He would throw the furniture around and break my things, yell at me, tell me I was worthless, etc. I put up with it cause I didn’t have anywhere to go. He kicked me out and I now live with my sister. It is hard living here cause my room is very small and the baby’s stuff has to be in my room. I am trying to save my money to get me my own place but I only make $75 a week cause I’m a live-in nanny for my sister 🙁
I have been living here for almost 2 months now and every day I grow more and more depressed that I won’t make it. I am stressed all the time due to my kids’ father who won’t leave me alone. He calls and texts me all the time and won’t leave me alone on Facebook either. He has never paid me anything for either of the kids. He claims that he wants me back and that things have changed. That he isn’t the same and all he wants is me, even though he is dating some girl. Yet he calls and texts saying he loves me and only me. My sister’s kid that I watch is 10 months old and is in everything. Plus I’m trying to work things out with my family and it just seems that no one really wants me. I know this stress is bad for the baby and I try not to be stressed, but nothing seems to work. The harder I try, the harder I fall it seems.
Idk how many blogs I’ve written on other sites. No one ever comments back and I really need someone to talk to. Since I have moved, I have really no friends and my sis works all the time, and I really get no time to myself. Plus I’m worried that when the baby comes I won’t be able to take care of my sister’s kid and my baby at the same time and if that happens I will lose my income and won’t be able to save back for anything I need or for the baby.
Plz I need someone to talk to.

I am pretty sure I am a few weeks into pregnancy. I am nineteen years old. My fiancé is in the United States Marine Corps. We recently solved a lot of problems in our relationship and spent a few weeks together while we were fixing our relationship. During that time, I had unprotected sex. I cannot use birth control because I get blood clots and most other methods are not safe because I have a blood disorder. I am also highly allergic to spermicide and latex and even the non-latex or spermicidal condoms irritate me. I have been suffering from nausea, frequent urination, breast pain, and headaches for about a week. I am really nervous because we are still at a point where we aren’t ready to settle down with a family. His career in the Marines has only just begun and I am not ready to get married. We didn’t want to be like the other military couples and get married and have kids at a young age. This is throwing a major dent in my plan. I don’t want to get an abortion despite the risks of my pregnancy because of my medical condition. I would look into adoption though. I told my mom and my step mom but telling anyone else would be difficult. My fiancé is absolutely a basket case about everything, but he is trying to stay calm and be my anchor on rough seas.
I am taking my test in the morning. I’m so scared.
Any advice? Anything?
Hi everyone. My name is Brittany. I’m 22 with three kids and the fourth on the way. I wanted to share my story with you all. I hope it can help some.
I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 16. Yes, I was scared and had a lot of emotions running through my head. Not only were my own thoughts getting in the way, but that of some of my family and friends. I told my boyfriend at the time and he was scared but excited at the same time. Not long after I found out he left and went to Mexico. My mother and friends were all telling me that he wasn’t going to come back and to abort the baby because it was mixed race and I was too young. After a week of him being gone, I started to believe everyone and was thinking about giving her up for adoption. I’m pro-life so that was my way out. Three weeks had passed and he came back and picked me straight up from my mom’s house. We are now married and have been for 5 years.
The point of me telling you all this is because people will say things and talk, but in the end, it is your choice and not theirs. Stay strong and do what you think is best for you. You are your own person and no one can take your free will away from you. Stay strong and keep your heads up. Things will seem bad at that point, but with every rainfall there will be a rainbow 🙂
